DIVIDE~CONQUER~THEN KILL!!

Desert Peace

(Ben Heine ę Cartoons)

July 7, 2007

That is exactly what we see happening in front of our eyes... Palestine has been divided, Palestine has been conquered.... and now Palestinians are being killed. All to the tune of 'Give Peace A Chance'... as Tony Blair prepares to arrive here.

Thursday Israel broke International Laws (even some of their own) by using human shields in this particular operation. Abbas sits back quietly as his people are being slaughtered... needless to say, the rest of the world has been silent as well.

AlJazeera managed to send journalists to the scene and reported the following...Palestinians mourn Gaza raid dead

Thousands of Palestinians have marched in Gaza at the funerals of 11 people, including nine Hamas fighters, who were killed in an Israeli raid into the central Gaza Strip a day earlier.

The Israeli military on Friday said it had concluded an incursion into Gaza near al-Barij and al-Maghazi refugee camps and had pulled its forces out overnight.

Troops, backed by tanks, entered Gaza early on Thursday and killed nine fighters from the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, as well as a member of the smaller armed group, Islamic Jihad, and a man medical staff said was a civilian.

More than 25 Palestinians were injured in Thursday's attacks, including an Al-Aqsa TV journalist, shot as he was covering the story.

Call for revenge

Thousands of people marched in the streets of al-Barij refugee camp on Friday and armed men fired rifles into the air, vowing revenge.

In a statement, al-Qassam Brigades said: "This blood will only increase our determination to chase the enemy and to strike it and resist by all our might until the last drop of our blood."

A spokesman for Fatah joined Ismail Haniya of Hamas, the deposed Palestinian prime minister, in condemning what Haniya called Israel's "military escalation" and "criminal massacre" and said Palestinian fighters had the right to respond.

Emad Ghanem, a journalist working for Hamas' satellite channel Al-Aqsa TV, was filming near the al-Barij refugee camp in the east during Thursday's raid when he was hit by Israeli gunfire.

After falling to the ground, video footage showed him being hit by several more shots before fellow journalists came to his aid.

He was eventually carried off and both his legs were amputated in hospital.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said journalists were at risk if they entered a combat zone but soldiers did not deliberately target them.

A military source added that Israel did not consider a cameraman working for Hamas to be a journalist.

In a separate incident around the same incursion, Israeli soldiers fired on a rooftop where several journalists, including a Reuters camera crew, were filming. No one was injured.'Human shields'

Also during Thursday's raid, Azmi Abu Dalal, a Palestinian ambulance worker, said Israeli forces seized him and several colleagues when they tried to evacuate a wounded Palestinian man from a security post Hamas fighters had been using.

Abu Dalal said soldiers used them as "human shields" to exit the area.

Israeli law bans soldiers from using civilians for protection but the county has been repeatedly accused of breaching the rule.

The deaths bring to 5,776 the number of people killed since the outbreak of the second Palestinian uprising in September 2000, most of them Palestinians, according to a tally by the AFP news agency.

Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 after 38 years of occupation, but continues to carry out armed incursions and air strikes in the territory from where Palestinian fighters fire rockets into Israeli territory.

The following is a live report from the scene, not to be viewed by the faint of heart...It is very graphic.
